what’s the easiest way to empty input box (dom)?

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:

[B]<input name=”textfield” type=”text” class=”input” id=”textfieldML” value=”Join here” size=”15″ onfocus=”getValue()” />
[/B]
…and in getValue:

[B]onfocus=”document.getElementById(“textfieldML”).innerHTML=””
[/B]

this doesn’t work, but i’m sure it’s something like this…^^

pff, ideas?!

&lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;
function getValue() {
var el = document.getElementById('textfieldML');
el.value="";
}
&lt;/script&gt;
&lt;input name="textfield" type="text" class="input" id="textfieldML" value="Join here" size="15" onfocus="getValue()" /&gt;
&lt;input name="textfield" type="text" class="input" id="textfieldML2" value="Join here" size="15" onfocus="document.getElementById('textfieldML2').value='' " /&gt;

@mrhooDec 23.2007 — Be simpler to put the 'join here' in a label, and default the value at ''.

ty ?

i like the second one as it works inline...seems a bit over the top to write a little function and then call it, for something that can be done within the input tag...and for such a small task ?
